Key Takeaways
- Don’t allow the dashboard to become a prerequisite to the formation of your Opioid Stewardship Committee
- First, lead the Stewardship Committee in the creation of simple, measurable goals
- Start small and build basic functionality to facilitate the measurement of those goals
- Validate the data with your operational stakeholders. No report goes live without data validation from the clinical departments
- Iterate and evolve your dashboards over time. Your understanding will evolve and so should your tools
